The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you have created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the game board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
